A great course for anyone who is about to get radar fitted to their boat, or maybe wants a bit more insight into what they are looking at on their current radar screen!
A general introduction into radar and it’s working principles, the types of radar currently available, how to best take advantage of it’s uses and the benefits it offers in all kinds of weather conditions.
Also covered:

With modern radar technolgy moving forwards at speed, and with more and more boats readily having radar fitted, now is the time to get ahead of the curve and learn about radar!
It’s one of those sayings “you never knew you needed it until you first used it”, is so true. Radar is so immensely useful in all manner of conditions, in quiet and busy waterways alike. You simply can’t not do this course, especially if you want to look at doing your RYA Yachtmaster at some point.
We will show you the typical pulse radar systems fitted to most boats, and if you ask Jonno really nicely, he’ll show you the all-singing-and-dancing Doppler system he’s fitted on his yacht!
That truly is a leap forwards as it pings cardinals and prioritises other vessels as threats or harmless in regards to course collisions! Such a useful course, you really do need to have this one on your list.
